Notes: With the Orioles’ victory last night over the Yankees, the AL East is tied at the top once again. If the season ended today, the Yankees would travel to Baltimore on Thursday, October 4 – the Orioles would host because of their 8-7 edge over the Yankees head-to-head – and the winner would claim the AL East title and head to Chicago for the Division Series, starting Saturday, October 6. The loser would host Oakland on Friday, October 5 in the one-and-done wild-card game.

1. Lawrence Peter Berra. Yogi put together an all-time playing career, guided both the Yankees and Mets to World Series appearances as manager and has amassed a fortune off his flighty persona. Now, at age 87, he is showed with love whenever he sets foot in Yankee Stadium – or anywhere, really.

2. Larry Wayne Jones. Chipper will surely become the third Lawrence/Larry to join the Hall of Fame, as he wraps up his sublime, one-team journey with the playoff-bound Braves. His embracing of his enemy role in Shea Stadium and Citi Field _ remember, the guy named his child “Shea” _ only enhances his value.

3. Lawrence Eugene Doby. The other Larry currently enshrined in Cooperstown, joining Berra, Doby will forever be remembered as the second pioneer. He was the second African-American player in the 20th century, following Jackie Robinson, and the second African-American manager, following Frank Robinson. He carried himself with a quiet dignity and, in his later years, he didn’t necessarily enjoy talking about himself. But he understood how important it was to share his stories.

4. Lawrence Robert Bowa. Scrappy. Feisty. Maybe too much so at times. The shortstop for the 1980 Phillies also won admirers in Chicago for his time with the Cubs _ he ended his career unmemorably with the Mets in 1985 _ and then managed the Padres and Phillies, doing better in his second gig than in his first, but still wearing people out after four years. He proved a better fit as the third-base coach for skippers like Terry Collins, Lou Piniella and Joe Torre. Now he’s an analyst for MLB Network.

5. Lawrence Gene David. No, Larry David never played in a big-league game _ unlike, say, Larry Hisle or Larry Andersen. But the co-creator of “Seinfeld” and creator and star of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” has done plenty to promote the game he loves. His off-screen portrayal of George Steinbrenner on “Seinfeld” was hilarious, and he helped rehabilitate the reputation of 1986 World Series goat Bill Buckner on “Curb.” Keith Hernandez, too, received a huge boost from appearing on “Seinfeld,” although Mets fan Jerry Seinfeld deserves more credit for that one.
